Hi folks - just doing some planning here for 3.2L build and it looks like most of the front oil cooler installations end up cutting the factory bracing extends from either side of the car near the headlights to under the front latch.
The Patrick Motorsports kit from the shapes in the kit seem to presume that but I wanted to ask what most people end up doing. Some recent big$ sales on BAT took the cut/remove approach but I’m a bit reluctant to dive in with the cutting disks. Example picture attached Thanks! |

I've used the Mazda RX4 coolers on a couple 914s and a 930 turbo; fit on the 914 goes flush to the top of the arched sheet metal piece, and the f'glass shroud fits great over everything.
@Tdskip ... I have an extra RX4 cooler on hand...needs some rehab and an ultrasonic cleaning. Check it out when you pick up your headers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Marty |
